Abstract:

Values of λ are determined for which there exist positive solutions of the system of three-point boundary value problems, u''(t)+ λa(t)f(v(t))=0, v''(t)+λb(t)g(u(t))=0, for 0 < t <1, and satisfying, u(0) = 0, u(1)=α u(η), v(0) = 0, v(1)=α v(η). A Guo-Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem is applied.
